     Adopted: May 8, 1998              Released: May 15, 1998

By the Commission:

     1.  By this action, the Commission amends its Schedule of
Application Fees, 47 C.F.R. Section 1.1102 et seq., to adjust the
fees for processing applications and other filings.  Section 8(b)
of the Communications Act, as amended, requires that the Commission
review and adjust its application fees every two years after
October 1, 1991. 47 U.S.C. Section 158(b).  The adjusted or
increased fees reflect the net change in the Consumer Price Index
for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) of 28 percent, calculated from
December 1989 to September 1997.  The adjustments made to the fee
schedule comport with the statutory formula set forth in Section
8(b).  Consistent with Section 8(b)(1), the Commission has
transmitted to Congress a notification of the fee adjustments.  If
Congress interposes no objection to the proposed increases within
the 90 day notification period pursuant to Section 8(b)(1), the new
fees will become effective as set forth in paragraph 2 below.

     2.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that the Schedule of
Application Fees, 47 C.F.R. Section 1.1102 et seq., IS AMENDED as
set forth in the attached amendment, and will be published in the
Federal Register to  become effective tentatively on September 21,
1998.
